The resulting series reveal sometimes very candid and casual portraits working as parts of a larger body of work. Each session featured different set ups and formats, including medium format on a black seamless, 4×5 positive/negative polaroid on a white seamless, curtains and stage lighting, and a red seamless on the occasion of an Oscar™ party.

The exhibit will be up for the months of June and July, with receptions on Art-Walk nights of June 11 and July 9 at Mastroianni Photography and Arts.

Taking place at the historic/nostalgic Literary Cafe in the Tremont neighborhood, the series started in 2001 and has been repeated several times over the decade, each session featuring a different studio set-up and style.  The sessions are free and attempt to include all of the patrons on any of the given nights.

A few selections from the last session…

Simple headshot sessions for your website, business card, resumĂ©, audition, or what-have-you are available at Mastroianni Photography. We shoot in-studio in the Tremont neighborhood near downtown Cleveland, easily accessible from all of Northeast Ohio, or come to you for an additional fee. Sessions start at $125 and include your choice of one image file for your use, as well as online proofing for additional orders. Special group rates for businesses are available; book everyone in your office and make an outing of it–maybe have lunch in one of Tremont’s many awesome restaurants following the portrait session…
